In the presentation, we will highlight the major findings from our survey, including what types of salary structures are being used by organizations. We will provide a perspective on salary structure trends from 2002 to today and explore design considerations and common practices as they apply to selecting a type of salary structure, competitive position, frequency of salary structure update, and salary structure tools.</div> <div> &nbsp;</div> <div> <strong>Cost:<br> </strong></div> <div> Members $30</div> <div> Guests: $40</div> <div> Price goes up by $5 at the door.</div> </div> </div> </div> <br/> <div class="vcard"> <a class="url fn" href="http://houstoncandb.org/">Maggiano's Little Italy <br/> <div class="adr"> <div class="street-address">2019 Post Oak Blvd</div> <span class="locality">Houston</span>, <span class="region">TX</span> <span class="postal-code">77056</span> </div> </a></div> http://www.houstoncandb.org/en/cev/45 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 16:00:00 GMT Events http://www.houstoncandb.org/en/cev/54 <div class="vevent"> <a class="url" href="http://www.houstoncandb.org/en/cev/54"> <span class="summary">Health and Welfare Plans - Plan Types and Administration</span> </a><br/> <span class="tdtstart">Start Date:</span> <abbr class="dtstart" title="20130717T133000Z">Jul 17, 2013 8:30 AM</abbr> <br/> <span class="tdtend">End Time:</span> <abbr class="dtend" title="20130718T220000Z">Jul 18, 2013 5:00 PM</abbr> <br/> <span class="tlocation">Location:</span> <span class="location"> Double Tree in Greenway (formerly Renaissance Hotel Houston), Houston, Tx 77046</span> <br/> <span class="tdescription">Event Details:</span> <div class="description"><div> <h3> Health and Welfare Plans — Plan Types and Administration</h3> <p style="font-size: 13px; color: #575757; line-height: normal; background-color: #ffffff;"> <em><strong>Get It Right From the Start</strong></em></p> <p style="color: #000000; line-height: normal; background-color: #ffffff;"> <span style="line-height: 18px;">This course provides fundamental information that every practitioner must know in regard to different types of health and welfare benefits available.

In today’s fast-paced and information flooded environment, finding ways to motivate team members has never been more challenging. But wait—before you go back to dreaming up new office contests—there’s new thinking on motivation to explore, and it’s sending the proverbial ‘carrot or stick’ theory to the compost bin.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #404040;">In Beyond Carrots and Sticks, marketing strategist and organizational change agent, Christine Hollinden, CPSM, presents a new approach to motivation. This session identifies the five major motivational theories and includes a review of how thinking on motivation has progressed beyond ‘carrots and sticks.’ Learn the four drivers of motivation along with action items for bringing each driver to life within your organization. See why this new approach to motivation is more than just a theory and leave with fresh ideas for keeping your team moving ahead.</span></p></div> </div> <br/> <div class="vcard"> <a class="url fn" href="http://houstoncandb.org/">Maggiano's Little Italy <br/> <div class="adr"> <div class="street-address">2019 Post Oak Blvd</div> <span class="locality">Houston</span>, <span class="region">TX</span> <span class="postal-code">77056</span> </div> </a></div> http://www.houstoncandb.org/en/cev/47 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 16:00:00 GMT Events http://www.houstoncandb.org/en/cev/59 <div class="vevent"> <a class="url" href="http://www.houstoncandb.org/en/cev/59"> <span class="summary">Principles of Executive Rewards</span> </a><br/> <span class="tdtstart">Start Date:</span> <abbr class="dtstart" title="20131104T143000Z">Nov 4, 2013 8:30 AM</abbr> <br/> <span class="tdtend">End Time:</span> <abbr class="dtend" title="20131105T230000Z">Nov 5, 2013 5:00 PM</abbr> <br/> <span class="tlocation">Location:</span> <span class="location"> Marriott Westchase, Houston, TX 77042</span> <br/> <span class="tdescription">Event Details:</span> <div class="description"><div> <div style="font-weight:bold"> <h3> Principles of Executive Rewards</h3> <p style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color:#575757;"> <em><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">How to Reward Top Talent</span></span></em></p> <p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">This seminar provides an overview of the executive compensation field.
